[QUOTE="WantABigBass, post: 175942, member: 4545"] I finally got a break in the weather. It has been wet and too cold to paint. I needed it to be over 50. I got the boat prepped and ready. Today I was able to get 2 coats of primer on the hull and 1 extra on the heave wear areas for trailer and grounding on the shore. I am very pleased with the results. I used Rust-Oleum – Aluminum Primer in a rattle can. I am very happy that I already had the trigger gun for rattle cans. It is worth the money when you do more than a can at a time. I used a little over 2 cans per coat. Over the last two weeks I tested an area with this primer. After 10 days I can back and tried putting a wire brush with a drill and also a sander. I was very impressed with its adhesion. Time will tell. My next steps are to keep moving forward on final paint. We are still working on the color. I am thinking about a white bottom and a blue strip. My daughter has stated that she has the final decision. As long as I can stomach the color I will let her choose the color. I like the kids input it keeps them part of the modification. It looks like we should have warmer weather this week so I am also planning on water proofing the transom wood. I will keep you updated.
